I can usually manage to remove most infections but this one has got me stumped. I am about to reformat but I decided to post here in case someone might have an answer for me.

I am using AVG free and ZoneAlarm. I kept getting a firefox popup that directed me to a "www.blogtv.com" users page every 10 minutes or so. So I ran a Malwarebytes scan and keep returning one malware result. It is:

Backdoor.bot Registry Value HKEY_LOACAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\taskman

When I hit remove selected and then re-scan it is immediately there again. AVG does not pick this one up. I downloaded SUPERAntiSpyware free version and it found 2 threats. I removed them, rebooted and rescaned. Superantispyware picked up nothing but malwarebytes found the backdoor.bot again.

I downloaded and ran ATF cleaner and deleted everything. Rescanned with malwarebytes and it was still there.

I dont know what else to do.

Oh and malwarebytes will not update, I think it is being blocked by this virus. So I manually downloaded and installed the latest definitions (2506)

Any suggestions would be very helpful!

Welcome to Malwarebytes, the current def's are 2525, aside from that the backdoor.bot concerns me...Please follow these instructions:
